Here you will see the details of the FirstName field. Figure 3 illustrates what you can modify in a sample Employee field listing.

What you are able to modify will directly depend upon both the fields you have chosen as well as your needs. In the next window you can modify the field type and format. Once you have all of your fields in place click the Next button. The order in which your fields are in this column will be reflected in your database, so make sure you have them in the exact order you want. You can also move fields up and down in the right column by selecting a field and clicking the up or down arrow. Make sure you choose your fields carefully because adding or removing them later is not easy. Once you select your type you then move fields from the left column to the right. This sample table will give you a selection of table types to choose from. The difference between the categories is that Business tables are geared toward SMB and enterprise work and Personal is geared toward home use.Īfter you select your Category choose from the Sample tables drop down. The first task is to select the Category of database (Business or Personal). The Table Wizard is simple to use (see Figure 2). If you selected to create your tables with the Wizard, when you click Finish the Tables Wizard will open. Save this database in a directory you will remember, otherwise you'll wind up hunting for it later. When you click Finish you will be asked to save your database with a name.
